if you are meeting my characters for the first time, then yay! buckle in for some angst, some tragedy, and for some teenagers who are trying their BEST

Freddie: He has a lot in common with her, though he wouldn't realize it at first - they both come from families that they believed cared about them, but once they met their found family (well, not quite yet for Freddie in canon but AUs are a different story) they discovered what it truly meant to be cared about. When meeting her, he would act callous toward her, a little put off by her spoiled nature clashing with his pride. Eventually, he'd warm up to her and would make an effort to soften his remarks and not upset her.

Bella: She's a little resentful over the fact that Violetta cheated her way into school, instead of using skill or studying as she would have had to do; however, she admires Vi's efforts to improve and earn her place in the boarding school. Her initial shallow nature is a little off-putting, but ultimately Bella sees Vi as a good person and friend.

Zach: He respects her after her character arc, but they're very different. He'd struggle to have a conversation with her, partially because she's gorgeous and seems confident. If she ever let down her exterior and was more vulnerable with her insecurities, he'd admire her for it -defensive cordialness is a trait he shares with her, and he is too scared to let down his guard.

day one: violetta

meet violetta! as the daughter of a wealthy family, she was spoiled with everything she ever could have asked for- except, of course, a loving family who cared about her. at a young age, violetta was taught that her sister mattered more than her, since her sister was older and more beautiful in the eyes of their parents. below a layer of confidence is an insecurity that deepens every day, but that changes when violetta is sent to the boarding school, where she meets loving friends who help her with her issues.

nicknames: vi (by her friends), firefly (by aster)

power: fire

ethnicity: japanese colombian

birthday: september 25th

sexuality: bisexual

Freddie: He appreciates her down-to-earth nature and her practicality. Naturally, he thinks he's better than her, but that's consistent among all people at first. He's intimidated by her bravery and hardiness since he's lived a very sheltered life, but he would never admit that. Once he finally bonds with her, she'd be like a rock for him, someone to centre himself with, someone to protect him, someone who supports him. I just love The Perfect Family so much

Zach: He admires her strength - she always pushes herself to be better; even if at one point it was mostly for survival, she kept going, which is something he strives to do. Honestly, he'd love to spar with her, and learn more tricks on self-defense. Neither of them stand by and let bullying/harassing of those that can't defend themselves, which is something they can bond over. The only thing they don't have in common is their view of street authority since Zach wants to follow his father into some sort of law enforcement.

Bella: Since the main way she sees the world is through understanding, she struggles with Aster. They have completely different backgrounds, strengths, and ways of dealing with hardship. She does agree with her over opportunity - you need to work for something, to earn it, not just buy your way into prosperity. She's a little uneasy with Aster's confidence and slight aggressiveness - though they might agree on their view of some things, Bella would rather take a more passive route of judgment or action and would silently question the potentially more aggressive/defensive stance Aster would take.

day two: aster

this is aster! after her parents perished in a tragic accident, she grew up in various foster homes and a corrupt orphanage. she leaves that all behind as soon as possible and lives on the streets until boarding school. aster has fought for everything in her life and doesn’t like to depend on others. she hates when people are handed life on a silver platter, causing her to hate violetta at first. but, after a while, she realizes that violetta is trying, and they eventually form a friendship (and,, maybe something more)

nicknames: ast (mostly by juni), darling (by violetta), beautiful (by dawn)

power: fire

ethnicity: no record of who her parents were

birthday: october 28

sexuality: lesbian

Bella: She has incredible respect for Nyx's strength. She completely understands her closed off, masked nature, since it's something she does herself. She also sympathetic to Nyx's history, though she knows not to bring it up since she realizes it's probably painful and disliked. She also shares the resentment of everyone else towards Nyx's father (Nero) and will make him mysteriously disappear and be able to effortlessly evade blame if she's asked to/allowed to. everyone hates him

Freddie: He appreciates her taste - minimalistic and somewhat catering to others' opinions. He finds it a little irrational that she risked so much for a single person (but who is he to talk) and is a little judgemental of how easily he believes she was hoodwinked. Also, her internalized self-hatred doesn't make sense to him, since it's not her fault her mother died without her. Other than that, she's a decent enough person for his high standards

Zach: The hardship she went through and the strength she carries on with is very admirable to Zach. He can empathize with her about growing up without a mum angst twins However, though he will never admit to agreeing with Freddie, he also disagrees with her continued guilt over her mother's death. The world is filled with awful people, and good people need to find ways to combat that, which he commends her for doing; she infiltrated upper society and has the potential to topple the over-privileged.

day three: nyx

introducing nyx! she was raised by her mother, and they lived in poverty. to make ends meet, nyx would steal and lie without her mom’s knowledge, but they were happy because they had each other. then, one day, her mom got sick. nyx promised her mother that she would never try to meet the father who abandoned her, but she was terrified of losing her mom, so she finds him to ask him for help. her father, a rich politician, saw nyx as an opportunity to increase voter sympathy for him, so he made her stay with him as he told everyone that he found his long lost daughter. her mom passes away before nyx gets back to her. she blames herself for not getting medicine and for not being there when her mom needed her most. living with her father puts nyx in the public eye, and she learns to hide her emotions and thoughts behind walls which fall down when she meets her true friends at the boarding school.

nicknames: moonlight (by juni), honey (by aunt jetta)

power: darkness

ethnicity: greek german

birthday: january 11

sexuality: lesbian

Bella: She loves Juni I mean, how can you not and thinks she's a total sweetheart. She doesn't pity her for her heart condition, and admires her strength to stay positive, even if life isn't great. She loves that Juni, even though she was sheltered when she was younger, is able to connect with people; she enjoys spending time with her since Juni puts her at ease.

Freddie: Unfortunately for Freddie, it is very hard to dislike Juni. He finds her bubbly attitude a bit much sometimes, but whenever he's around her, it's a bit harder to frown and act disdainful to Lesser People. Out of everyone in the Crown of Flowers group (possibly my characters too) he'd probably open up to her second or third (after Dawn and then Violetta)

Zach: Other than someone who hasn't been mentioned yet, he probably matches her energy best in the group. He loves spending time with her, and feels safe around her, almost to the point of being his authentic self. He envies her a little for having such great parents, and commends her strength in battle, both in and out of the hospital and arena.

day four: juniper

this ray of sunshine is juni! she is possibly the only character with a happy homelife. her dads adopted her when she was three, and they are the picture of a perfect family with no shortage of love and support. however, juni has a heart defect that caused her to spend a lot of time in and out of hospitals for most of her childhood. juni couldn’t run around and play with other children because she was on bed rest often, so she didn’t have any friends. her dads supplied her with lots of art supplies to pass the time, and juni because excellant at painting and drawing. she keeps an optimistic look on life, as her dads taught her, and at the boarding school, she finally meets a group of friends who she loves.

nicknames: juni (by everyone), sunshine (by nyx)

power: ice

ethnicity: ethiopian

birthday: july 7

sexuality: pansexual

Bella: As a fellow Ravenclaw, she appreciates her love for reading and would love to spend hours talking about books. She thinks Lynn could stand to be a little more out there and not just stay in the background with a book, because even though she spent most of her time like that, she's been so much happier spending time with people. And ace spec solidarity!

Freddie: Her intelligence is commendable, but she's a little too much of a doormat for his tastes. He can sympathize with her, however, having spent a little less that half of his life without parents, since he doesn't really count his foster parents despite all they've done for him.

Zach: Yet another person he struggles to relate to. She's... okay for him. She's nice, and he doesn't feel defensive around her, which is always a plus. He'd probably try to read a book or two to have something to talk about her with, and he might succeed with those one or two books, but his capacity to remain quiet is very low.

day five: lynn

introducing lynn! there are very few braincells in this group, but she can always be counted on to possess both an academic and a creative one! maybe not a social interaction brain cell though. when lynn was a kid, her parents died in a car crash and she was sent to an orphanage. lynn never really connected with the kids her age, so she retreated into all the books she could find. lynn loves writing and creating new worlds in her head, and that doesn’t change when she makes friends at the boarding school.

nicknames: lee (by juni)

power: water

ethnicity: irish

birthday: september 1

sexuality: biromantic demisexual

Bella: Tora's enthusiasm is quite overwhelming, so she's a little quieter than normal around her since Tora fills silence very effectively. Her lack of control is a little grating for Bella, since she tends to be more focus oriented rather than using force and power. She feels bad for Tora's relationship with her brother, since she knows how great it is to have a healthy relationship with siblings.

Freddie: She is way too rambunctious, outspoken, rough and "unintelligent" for his tastes. Out of the entire group, she's probably the person he'd like to spend the least time with. He's a little resentful over the fact that she has supportive parents (though before meeting Vi and Aster, he didn't really know about that) The only redeeming quality he sees in her is her raw power, something he's secretly envious of in interactions in AUs where they both retain their powers

Zach: Tora and Zach match each other's chaotic energies so well. He, Tora and his cousin Ethan (who serves as the braincell of the group, though it's not very effective) are the chaos trio, who, whenever together create all sorts of shenanigans and mess. He loves her free spirit and knows he can be his true self around her, since she doesn't judge and is very open about her feelings. In basically every crossover AU we have, they're pretty much inseparable and ruin any semblance of peace the group has.

day six: tora

presenting tora! she is fiery and chaotic; her thoughts race around, never settling on one thing. she’s loyal and protective, a friend to the end. tora loves her friends and believes in platonic love with all her heart. growing up, tora was extremely closer to her brother, but he resented her a bit, as her powers are extremely strong. tora doesn’t think before acting at times, so she’s been in a couple of fights. she loves walking around nature and likes to take pictures.

nicknames: tor (by juni), zeus (by dawn)

power: storm (affinity for lightning)

ethnicity: korean

birthday: april 15

sexuality: aromantic asexual

Zach: Before her character arc, he struggles to be nice around her. Her attitude reminds him of every kid that bullied him in elementary school - aloof and hateful. The only redeemable thing about her is her family situation. Since she was raised by her uncle, she doesn't know much better, which gives him a little hope for her future if she spends more time around kinder people. Unfortunately, he probably won't be those people, at least in the beginning; eventually, they might bond, but she has to become a more empathetic person first.

Bella: Like Zach, before her character arc, Dawn is on thin ice with Bella. She'll treat Dawn coolly and won't be outright rude, but it'll take a lot for Dawn to redeem herself. However, her social skills are impressive to Bella, who has to work painfully hard to stay afloat in high school politics. Though in saying that, she's often confused by Dawn's chameleon-esque personality when seeing her interact with different people.

Freddie: Dawn is his favorite person in the entire group. She has good taste, understands that some people are just inferior. However, she is a little cold, and he's intimidated by her age and temperament - he'd like to befriend an ally, but she also has social experience he doesn't. But any fear he has in regards to her comes from a place of respect, which is more than can be said of anyone else of either group.

day seven: dawn

last, but certainly not least, is dawn! although she keeps herself apart from the main group, she is connected to them through nyx, her cousin. dawn is the daughter of aunt jetta, but is closer to her uncle, nero, who treated her as his heir- until nyx showed up. then, dawn felt like an afterthought in her own family, as everyone’s attention seemed focused on nyx. the Institute of Briarwood gives her a chance to prove herself, and she’s determined to take it.

nicknames: gorgeous (by aster), ’cuz (by nyx)
